Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: IL-17A/F Heterodimer

IL-17A/F is an approximately 40 kDa, secreted, disulfide-linked heterodimeric glycoprotein comprised of two members of the IL-17 family of cytokines, IL-17A and IL-17F (1). Members of this family demonstrate a structural motif termed a cysteine-knot that also characterizes a large superfamily of growth factors. Although most cysteine-knot superfamily members use three intrachain disulfide bonds to create a knot, IL-17 family molecules generate the same structural form with only two disulfide links (2 - 4). Mouse IL-17A is synthesized as a 158 amino acid (aa) precursor that contains a 25 aa signal sequence and a 133 aa mature region. The mature chain contains one potential site of N-linked glycosylation. Mouse IL-17F is synthesized as a 161 aa precursor. Like IL-17A, IL-17F contains one potential site of N-linked glycosylation. IL-17A and IL-17F share 50% aa sequence identity. Mouse IL-17A and IL-17F are 61% and 56% identical to human IL-17A and IL-17F on the aa level, respectively. IL-17A/F and the IL-17A and IL-17F homodimers are produced by an activated subset of CD4+ T cells, termed Th17 (1, 5 - 7). IL-23 drives Th17 lymphocytes to produce these cytokines (5, 8 - 9). Studies have identified that the widely expressed receptors IL-17RA and IL-17RC form a heterodimer for the binding of IL-17A and IL-17F, and IL-17A/F (5, 10 - 12). IL-17A/F is a biologically active protein that induces chemokine production and airway neutrophilia with intermediate potency between IL-17A (most potent) and IL-17F (least potent) (6).
